(That's still a possibility for the movie, I guess, but it doesn't look too likely from the trailer.) I'm not sure I agree with the casting either, though I shall reserve judgement until I've seen it.
At least they got rid of that stupid deerstalker hat.

Supernatural? I think I may have seen a different trailer then...

If there is then bad. Very bad.

No wait, I did see that one.

I think the supernatural stuff'll probably have an explanation. At least it better, or it'll be like the Prestige, only worse.

Any one see any Guy Richie movies before? The content of those might be the best determining factor.

What do you mean by that? He's made some good ones, he's made some . . . not so good ones.

And Prestige was awesome, even if plot coherency was a little iffy.
When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney.

Something symbolic in that. It's what fake freedom does for you.

Grr, I had written this all yesterday, but the power went out. Anyway:

Yeah yeah yeah, I know; a lot of people liked the movie. I didn't. We've already discussed it on earlier pages, I'm not going to go into it here.

For Guy Richie, I just mean: Is he likely to make a movie with supernatural content in it? etc.

Also (and I'm getting into really geeky territory here :D ), am I the only one annoyed that it looks like Irene Adler is going to be a major character. She's going to be a love interest, I just know it.


Saw Wolverine. Wasn't too bad.

No, no you're not. That bothers me too. She shows up in one single short story and is never seen again, dammit!

Uh... right.
Looking forward to A Christmas Carol (Jim Carrey fan) and, actually, This Is It.
